A rare, elevated Forrest property, nestled in stunning formal designed landscaped gardens complete with four-hole putting green, infinity pool and a self-contained unit with ensuite and kitchenette, this spectacular home also boasts panoramic views that take in Canberra's iconic Parliament House and Black Mountain.

Shaped around a central courtyard with koi pond, it's a home that delivers style from the moment you enter and see the myriad of full-height picture windows that frame the views.

The expansive kitchen is at the junction of it all. With 4.7m Caesarstone-topped waterfall-edged island, walk-in pantry and integrated appliances, every element here has been thoughtfully considered. Behind concealed doors and cupboards, a pantry and utility storage keep the kitchen space streamlined and calm, as does masterfully crafted joinery in the nearby sun-swathed family room.

Adjacent the kitchen is an open-plan dining and lounge room with gas fireplace. There's an easy outdoor transition to an automated louvered Vergola-covered deck and an infinity pool that disappears into meticulously layered hedging punctuated with exotic plantings in the garden below. An beautiful terrace adjacent to a second formal pond provides an ideal place for alfresco dining in summer evenings.

Cleverly sequestered in a segregated wing of the home is a glamorous family bathroom with full-height mirrored storage, and four generous bedrooms, one of which has its own ensuite and study. External access makes this room perfect for an au pair or extended family. The palatial master lies in the home's second wing and has a sweeping terrace, walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite where a designer bath, set in yet another picture window, offers unobstructed blue-sky views.

Beyond the master lies a true rumpus room. A broad space with triple aspect glass, Bose sound system and fitted with swathes of custom storage, it lends itself to use as a media room, games room or music room. Minutes from inner south's exceptional lifestyle advantages including prized schools, boutique shopping and dining this is an exquisite opportunity in every sense.
